So who sits? Marvin or Josh Smith?

Can't have them all out there at PF

I think Shelden comes off the bench until he eventually starts over Zaza.

[DeacKillsaDevil]

BK says he will play PF not C.

its sad we went into this draft needing a guard and center and the clown picked another forward. its a shame we have two kids that deserve to start and one will have to sit and will probably have to do so until traded or when they become a free agent.

[chillzatl]

could go either way, depends on who had the better off season.

[Dakin]

who cares, as long as we finally have someone who can play D in the paint.

Marvin is going to be the one to sit since he has not shown the ability Josh has.

In light of the Sheldon pick I really think the Marvin pick last year over Paul set this franchise back a few years. Shame. Sheldon and Smoove can be a monster forward duo and Paul and JJ would have been a devestating backcout. Wouldn't have mattered much who played center, but a Zaza/Esteban/Soloman combo probably would have been enough.

So instead of having a PG the Hawks will have the 2nd pick in the draft coming off the bench again? Brillant!

It's Childress who is pressed for minutes, if another PG is brought in.

[sinctybldh]

what could we hope to get for Josh Childress. I would want equal value back and not take on a lesser player for the sake of addressing a need.

Well, if the Hawks are active in free agency, then they don't have to trade Childress. They can just sign a PG outright.

[Guest Riv]

out of curiousity, how many NBA teams have a center who is 6'10 and under?

[GST]

My best guess is that they'll give Marvin and Josh equal minutes, until one separates himself from the other. I also suspect that management believes that Marvin will eventually be the starting SF. This will sort itself out during the upcoming season.

[sinctybldh]

is it possible to play JJ at point, Marvin at shooting guard, Smith at Small Forward,and Shelden at PF?

[GST]

I imagine we will see that line up at times, because Marvin has skills that translate pretty well to SG. However, if we get a veteran PG like Hawks management has been suggesting, I don't think we would see it too often.

& Portland just made bold moves and got two starters and stars for their team without sitting a single top 10 pick.

I said we needed bold moves. We got the lamest move imaginable. We sit a #2 pick for it. How is any of this good? How can anybody (tacidly or otherwise) a GM with this tremendous lack of foresight. Hell, 4 years, 3 top 6 and 2 top 2 picks and we have the same number of definative starters for our team as Portland in one draft. And ours are both forwards and not complimentary position players. Just stupid.
